Lol your on the right lines, no amouny of maintenance will stop a micro switch failing unless to replace the switch / board after every gameWhat about if your trigger catches fire because your walking it so fast, maintenance wouldnt stop that, no sir. Never happened to me personally, mine stays so called it gives me frost bite on my pinkys. X
Some ppl only play ones every month or 2, if the gun dies after the first round I would rather use a £30 spyder mr1 then go home.Un necessary luxury. Id rather play 20 times than have a gun I might break out once a year.
Do whatever makes you happy bud
I don't play tourney but play scenario games and have a pump gun as a backup. Never used it yet (other than normal use when i want to play pump only).
I pretty much know my Demon inside and out so can fix it on location and hopefully, quickly too.
Maintain your marker and it won't let you down - but stuff can happen which is unpredictable. Wish I had a Creed though.. so I could learn to tech that too..
